The attached patch makes it work much better for me.  The patch
will cause the code to NOT create a stale neighbor entry if we
are not going to respond to the ARP request.  The old code
*would* create a stale entry even if we are not going to respond.

make mdio-gpio work with non OpenFirmware gpio implementation.

Aditional changes to mdio-gpio:
- use gpio_request() and gpio_free()
- place irq[] array in struct mdio_gpio_info
- add module description, author and license
- add note about compiling this driver as module
- rename mdc and mdio function (were ugly names)
- change MII to MDIO in bus name
- add __init __exit to module (un)loading functions
- probe fails if no phys added to the bus
- kzalloc bitbang with sizeof(*bitbang)

Changes since v3:
- keep bus naming "%x" to be compatible with existing drivers.

Changes since v2:
- more #ifdefs reduction
- platform driver will be registered on OF platforms also
- unified platform and OF bus_id to phy%i

Changes since v1:
- removed NO_IRQ
- reduced #idefs

Laurent, please test this driver under OF.

Make pegasus driver not allocate a workqueue until the driver
is bound to some device, which will need that workqueue if
the device is brought up.  This conserves resources when the
driver is linked but there's no pegasus device connected.

Also shrink the runtime footprint a smidgeon by moving some
init-only code into its proper section, and move an obnoxious

This provides a missing link in the code chain, as several features implicitly
depend and/or rely on the choice of CCID. Most notably, this is the Send Ack Vector
feature, but also Ack Ratio and Send Loss Event Rate (also taken care of).

For Send Ack Vector, the situation is as follows:
 * since CCID2 mandates the use of Ack Vectors, there is no point in allowing 
   endpoints which use CCID2 to disable Ack Vector features such a connection;

 * a peer with a TX CCID of CCID2 will always expect Ack Vectors, and a peer
   with a RX CCID of CCID2 must always send Ack Vectors (RFC 4341, sec. 4);

 * for all other CCIDs, the use of (Send) Ack Vector is optional and thus
   negotiable. However, this implies that the code negotiating the use of Ack
   Vectors also supports it (i.e. is able to supply and to either parse or
   ignore received Ack Vectors). Since this is not the case (CCID-3 has no Ack
   Vector support), the use of Ack Vectors is here disabled, with a comment
   in the source code.

An analogous consideration arises for the Send Loss Event Rate feature,
since the CCID-3 implementation does not support the loss interval options
of RFC 4342. To make such use explicit, corresponding feature-negotiation
options are inserted which signal the use of the loss event rate option,
as it is used by the CCID3 code.

Lastly, the values of the Ack Ratio feature are matched to the choice of CCID.

The patch implements this as a function which is called after the user has
made all other registrations for changing default values of features.

The table is variable-length, the reserved (and hence for feature-negotiation
invalid, confirmed by considering section 19.4 of RFC 4340) feature number `0'
is used to mark the end of the table.

This provides a data structure to record which CCIDs are locally supported
and three accessor functions:
 - a test function for internal use which is used to validate CCID requests
   made by the user;
 - a copy function so that the list can be used for feature-negotiation;   
 - documented getsockopt() support so that the user can query capabilities.

The data structure is a table which is filled in at compile-time with the
list of available CCIDs (which in turn depends on the Kconfig choices).

Using the copy function for cloning the list of supported CCIDs is useful for
feature negotiation, since the negotiation is now with the full list of available
CCIDs (e.g. {2, 3}) instead of the default value {2}. This means negotiation 
will not fail if the peer requests to use CCID3 instead of CCID2.

This patch limits feature (capability) negotation to the connection setup phase:

 1. Although it is theoretically possible to perform feature negotiation at any
    time (and RFC 4340 supports this), in practice this is prohibitively complex,
    as it requires to put traffic on hold for each new negotiation.
 2. As a byproduct of restricting feature negotiation to connection setup, the
    feature-negotiation retransmit timer is no longer required. This part is now
    mapped onto the protocol-level retransmission.
    Details indicating why timers are no longer needed can be found on
    http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/feature_negotiation/\
	                                      implementation_notes.html

This patch disables anytime negotiation, subsequent patches work out full
feature negotiation support for connection setup.
